Set in the rainforest above the shores of Lake Petén Itzá, La Lancha is a ten-room lodge furnished with Guatemalan textiles, carvings, and furniture Francis and Eleanor Coppola chose themselves. A short drive into the rainforest brings you to Tikal, the great Maya city, where more than 3,000 structures stand among the trees and moss clings to the steps of temples and plazas.
La Lancha keeps an unhurried pace: a quiet lakeshore to settle into, and the Petén rainforest, with Tikal at its heart, when you want to go exploring.
